[Misc] Overuse of the word cohesive.

[Pevenseagull]

Has anyone else noticed this?

I've got nothing against the word but I keep hearing it. Typically from people who are trying to sound clever.

I don't remember it being used that much and it's starting to irritate me.

Stick with it, it'll grow on you.

You mean it’s adhesive?

You mean it’s adhesive?

I haven't a glue.

cant think last time heard it, maybe "cohesive defence", but what teams have that these days.

i will, of course, now hear it a dozen times tomorrow.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Isn't he a Dutch Darts player?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Maybe slightly annoying if overused but not as bad as a word per se as “gunt”.

A bit cut and paste. Though I’m sure (as Crodo famously found during his naked Twister party) that mistaking adhesive for lube can certainly lead to a cohesive hole.

Personally prefer mucilaginous; cohesive is so yesterday.

 

[Comrade Sam]

I have come to consider 'basically' as the most over used word. In the last year, I don't think I've spoken to anyone who has used more than 10 different words without one being basically.

 

[Eeyore]

Think we need a cohesive strategy to address this one.

 

[Insel affe]

Isn’t it just a fancy word for Lackyband

 

[portlock seagull]

Agree with OP. It literally makes my blood boil…Like…

 

[Cotton Socks]

I think everyone should stop worrying about small things such as words and just all stick together.

You make a cohesive argument.
